From the Paper:
"Basque issue it inherited from Franco's dictatorship. The conflict has two basic issues. Historically, the Basques are not linked with the Spaniards. The Basques have a separate identity, demonstrated by a different culture and an entirely different language. The other issue is violence. Since the late 1960s, militant Basque nationalists have used terrorism in an attempt to gain independence. Spain has responded with police crack-downs and repression. However, the problem goes further. Issues of civil rights and the ability of the state to use force against its citizens have all been affected by the Basque conflict. These issues affect all Spanish citizens, but they have arisen from the regional conflict in the Basque country."More papers on The Basque Country: Violence and Identity:

Nov 03, 2000 I am a student at Ithaca College. I am a politics major with minors in economics and environmental studies. My most comprehensive writing is in the area of politics. I devote the most time and energy to those papers that lie within that area. My particular areas of interest are the Basque conflict in northeastern Spain and southwestern France, declared states of exception and the relation to the use of power, federal state relations, and the US Supreme Court. I will continue to publish more in these areas over the next few semesters.
